Introduction

This is an example of a portfolio that someone might assemble to demonstrate the skills they have developed in VIS 2128. I have created this page using RMarkdown. There are fancier tools out there for creating and hosting webpages, and you are welcome to use any of those if you like. The advantage of this approach is that you can create your webpage directly from RStudio.

This example uses the downcute theme, which is available if you install the rmdformats package. The themes in the rmdformats have a table of contents that only includes level-one headings.

Other themes in the rmdformats package are material, html_clean, html_docco, readthedown, and robobook.

Your portfolio should demonstrate each of the following skills (not all of which are demonstrated in this example):

• Displaying multiple vector layers on the same map
• Calculating and displaying relationships among point and polygon layers based on distance
• Aggregating point data to a layer of polygons
• Calculating and displaying accessibility, based on travel time
• Converting between raster layers and vector layers
• Displaying raster data on a map
• Georeferencing a raster image
• Displaying data on an interactive map
